"You guys care if I put them in? This is the second week you haven't taken them," the woman says. Refuse Worker: "Say that again?" Woman: "Can I dump them in then?" Refuse Worker: "Sure." -- After that, you can see her walk off the porch and place her baby in the grass, who starts crying. Then, she drags one can over to the garbage truck, dumps it in, then grabs a second can and does the same. Both workers stand by watching.
